Freescale PowerPC PowerQuicc-II Pro MPC832x
The LinuxLink software distribution model enables the usage of the MPC832x LinuxLink for development targeting all designs based on MPC832x processors. Based on a system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, the MPC832x PowerQUICC II Pro Family integrates the enhanced e300 PowerPC™ core and advanced features, such as DDR memory, Serial and PHY ATM, PCI, and Hi-Speed USB controllers.
Processor derivatives enabled:
The MPC832x LinuxLink can be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs based on the MPC8321, MPC8321E, MPC8323, and MPC8323E processors.
Reference boards/OEM boards enabled:
The MPC832x LinuxLink can also be used as a starting point for Linux development for designs derived from the MPC832xE-MDS from Freescale Semiconductor.
Notes:
Complete peripheral support for MPC832x-derived integrated processors, or board support for other reference designs, might need to be sourced from manufacturers of the respective processors or reference boards.
Processor Overview
Freescale Semiconductor's MPC832x PowerQUICC II Pro family of integrated communications processors is a next-generation extension of the popular PowerQUICC II line. Based on a system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, the MPC832x PowerQUICC II Pro Family integrates the enhanced e300 PowerPC core and advanced features, such as DDR memory, Ethernet and ARM, PCI, and Hi-Speed USB controllers.
The MPC832x PowerQUICC II Pro Family is designed to provide a cost-effective, highly integrated control processing solution that addresses the emerging needs of networking, communications and pervasive computing applications. MPC832x processors can be used in applications such as residential gateways, SOHO networking, VPN routers, access points, DSLAM line cards, industrial controls, and test and measurement equipment.

Boards and Reference Distributions
The MPC8349 MDS Processor Board includes various peripherals, such as data input/output devices (GETH, USB, DUART), memories (DDR, SDRAM (optional), Serial EEPROM, PSRAM (optional) & FLASH and BCSR (registers), and control switches and LED indicators.
The MPC8349 MDS Processor Board can be run in a stand-alone mode, like other ADS, with direct connections to deubggers (via a JTAG/COP connector and JTAG/Parallel Port command converter), power supply, and the GETH, MiniAB USB and Dual RS-232 (DUART) connections. In this mode, the MPC8349 MDS Processor Board acts as a Host.
